I love everything I read from this author including this! Super quick short story. But there is def a trigger/content warning that should be taken into account before you choose to read it.

Check trigger/content warnings.
The narrator does a great job, and the story overall was good. I didn't love it, but it kept my interest and kept me wanting to finish through the end. 

I liked some elements of it and thought it was interesting enough, but I didn't like it as much as I had hoped. Pretty quick read tho.

Read trigger/content warnings!
This was really good. Trippy, mysterious, dark, weird, with some horror. Outer beauty really isn't everything. I loved how this book took on beauty/wellness and the obsession people have with it.

Pretty fun and entertaining read. The audiobook narrator did a phenomenal job!

A solid middle grade read. Loved the supernatural and magical elements. Loved the family connection and importance placed on family, friends, and community as well.

This was excellent. I'm not the biggest on poetry, but I've been trying to read/listen to more.
The audiobook narrator was also very good. I'll be looking for more from both the author and the narrator.

A good starting place for kids and young adults who want to know more about the racism Black Americans experience and their struggles they still have in the U.S. due to it.

I started trying to read the physical book, couldn't get into it, and put it on pause until I could check out the audiobook from my library. Much easier to get into through the audio.
Generally liked the story although some parts were a little slow. Liked the characters and the diversity. Liked the discussion on various social issues (mainly feminism) although the discussion of racial inequality was brief (one line did really stand out touching on racial inequality about how when people crack down on "crime"/"degeneracy" it affects Black people the most every time).
My main critique is that the music used in the audiobook could be too loud, and made it difficult to listen to the narration/story during those parts. I liked the vibe the music brought to the story, it fit into the story nicely, but the volume of the music to the narrator really detracted from the story for me especially since they music wasn't necessary to the story (it was a nice bonus sort of feature to the audio but it wasn't necessary and I would've preferred forgoing it entirely so I could've had an easier time hearing the actual story). Would be good for future of making audiobooks more accessible to be mindful of the volume levels of any music or noise/sound effects that are added to the book.

Not my fave but not terrible. Decent enough of a listen on audio when I didn't know what else I wanted to read but wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
